I studied for my Masters part time. As I had to fund myself, the idea was to get a job part time to pay for the course. As it turned out, the part time job I got, (in the voluntary sector) was very demanding - time wise and emotionally. It turned from a 21 hour a week job into a full time job. Often I would be away at conferences and miss lectures, out in the evening at meetings, so course work wouldn't be done etc.

In the end I decided to have a 'year out' of the Masters to save the money up to do the final year. Guess what - in the end, I never went back for the final year. It is very easy to get engrossed in a job which is worthwhile and not be able to meet other commitments.

I'm sure you will go with your gut instinct and maybe you are a better juggler than I was... good luck - hope everything works out for you.:thumbsup:

Sounds like your course is much more flexible than mine was - which is a help. It also sounds like you've decided. :lol: Good luck with it all - it sounds like hard work - but worth it. If you only have a year to go, it shouldn't be too much of a long term problem..

The only question is - how will you fit BE in???:eek:
